How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I work collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families to reconnect with themselves and the people they care about. I have spent the past fifteen years working at a non-profit agency supporting individuals and families dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression and relational conflict. I utilize a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach tailoring therapeutic techniques to each individual’s goals. Please feel free to reach out as I look forward to supporting you in your journey!

My name is Klara, and I'm a mental health counselor holding a limited permit, working towards full licensure. I'm incredibly passionate about helping others reach self-actualization and lead a life that is consistent with their values. I have experience working with clients who suffer from intergenerational trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and borderline personality disorder. My approach includes cognitive-behavioral, DBT, and trauma-focused interventions. However, I strive to work with clients to find interventions that work best for them and their unique situations. Additionally, my approach focuses on past experiences as they impact our present. However, I will also address the here-and-now factors that are contributing to clients' concerns.

For over 15 years, I dedicated myself to being a clinical and educational psychologist, forging deep connections with countless students and their families. This passion and dedication were recognized when I received the "Outstanding Psychologist of the Year" award from the Los Angeles Association of School Psychologists. With such a rich history in the field, transitioning into private practice was the next logical step. Over the past three years, I've donned multiple hats: a Licensed Educational Psychologist, a Certified Clinical Tele-mental Health Services Provider, and a Certified Clinical ADHD Provider. My zeal for telehealth is undeniable. This digital medium lets me reach out to countless individuals across California, breaking geographical barriers. It's an absolute boon for those grappling with anxiety or depression, allowing them to find solace without stepping out. What makes my approach stand out? It's the unique strategies and hacks I've cultivated. They're not just effective; they're quick and easy. A mere 5-10 minutes of daily practice with these techniques promises significant improvement. Whether it's enhancing focus, bettering sleep habits, or just generally uplifting one's outlook on life, the benefits are manifold. But there's a challenge I must address. The title "Educational Psychologist" sometimes leads to misconceptions. Despite this label, I possess clinical certifications that equip me to offer services equivalent to many clinical psychologists. In fact, my extensive training and hands-on experience often surpass many traditional licenses out there. It's disheartening when the expertise gets overshadowed by a mere title. I prioritize affordable, inclusive mental health support. Sliding scale fees for all and free 15-min consultations for students. Don't let a title define the quality of care you receive. Let's pave a healthier, happier path together.

Hello all, my name is Amy Jenkins. I have had the pleasure to experience the "beauty from ashes" work for myself in therapy and my hope is to join others in their own beauty from ashes therapeutic work. My training at Moody Bible Institute has helped to build my faith and resources. I was blessed again when attending Abilene Christian University, to obtain a Masters's in Marriage and Family Therapy that has awarded me extensive knowledge in working with individuals and couples. In my experience as a human, I have come to understand that life is hard. Day-to-day challenges arise and can bring unwelcomed stressful feelings. Relationships are a part of everything we do and our best intentions are sometimes met with complications or difficulty.

I’ve always carried a deep desire to help people. My first career law enforcement. However, it did not really allow me to really dig in with individuals and help them make changes so they were not continuing the same cycles over and over. I returned to school and pursued my education in behavioral science and then mental health counseling, graduating with my Master’s degree in 2013. I've treated clients in residential treatment, intensive outpatient treatment, community mental health, and in a low to high security, all male state prison. I've worked with individuals from every walk of life. As a therapist and human being I’m always motivated to learn and grow. One of my passions is Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. I have been trained in and previously held certification in the Equine Assisted Growth & Education model. I also earned my EAGALA Military Services Designation to provide culturally competent services to our military members and their families. Another passion is working with our first responders, giving back to those to give so much daily.
